America’s ‘Great Retreat’ Is Accelerating

Stephen Bryen, Asia Times: America’s ‘Great Retreat’ is well underway 

The US is rapidly lowering its military profile and backing away from commitments to allies in the Middle East and Asia 

Why would the US Department of Justice drop five cases against Chinese researchers including Dr Juan Tang, a cancer researcher who allegedly lied on her visa application after photos of her were found wearing a Chinese military uniform? 

Part of the answer is that Tang’s case was dropped to facilitate Deputy Secretary of State Wendy Sherman’s high-level visit this week to China, where she was treated hostilely by her Chinese hosts. 

The five cases are just part of a bigger picture which can best be termed as “The Great Retreat.” In many areas, the US is lowering its profile and backing away from its commitments. 

For example, the US has pulled its only aircraft carrier, the USS Ronald Reagan, from the Pacific ostensibly to cover the retreat from Afghanistan. But whether the Ronald Reagan carrier will return to Japan in the future isn’t altogether clear.

WNU Editor: U.S. foreign policy is being dictated by its problems at home. It is a country that is politically divided coupled with racial tensions not seen in years. Massive deficits and liability obligations. Inflation and a major part of the workforce unemployed. Homelessness on the rise. An infrastructure that is crumbling even after multiple promises and disbursements over the years to repair it. A border crisis being ignored by Washington. Its reserve currency status being challenged. Bottom line. There is no longer any stomach among the U.S. electorate to save the world when real problems exist at home.

"with racial tensions not seen in years"

Tensions created and stoked by Democrats.

Democrats are even eating their own.

Are lesbians going the way of the dinosaur?

In general national class Democrat leaders hate anyone who will not lift them and their families to C-level.

Soooooo

The CDC just admitted the PCR test scandal
What does CNN and Facebook do?
If you post the PCR false positives test scandal, these fascist now claim that the CDC's own admission on the PCR false positive test scandal is "false information"
They, CNN, FACEBOOK, YOUTUBE want you to be locked down
They don't want you to know it was all based on false positives that the deep state knowingly produced to whip you into panic and let the Democrats use unconstitutional last minute no checks mail in ballots by the millions

Guys, we are living through a coup
Hold these big tech and media thieves and criminals accountable. Those who caused the lockdown cost you trillions(!) and traumatized hundreds of millions of children around the World

And they did it for political and financial gains

I personally want capital punishment for these monsters.

I want a new election and I want the military to remove these illegitimate Democrats from the oval office TODAY!!!!!

anyone participating and legitimizing this ongoing coup will be held accountable. There's no ignorance now that can protect you

Agreed, boss.

One of my biggest beefs with Washington D.C., is the spending. If the government was a private company it wouldn't last a year.

That is a big slap on our face. This administration has no spine and all countries see it. China is taking advantage of it and this could be dangerous if China feel to be over confident.

Govts go broke just like private or public companies. When they do, it is not pretty.

Lame, misleading article and analysis by WNU.

Moving a handful of weapons systems around is in no way indicative of a major change in US strategy, which remains the same.

Guys please focus

1. Covid is a hoax. The CDC admitted the PCR test scandal and are now silently replacing it. The virus has never been isolated. China's dramatic response, you know the disinfection of streets etc is a psychological operation to whip you into panic. Their criminals and our criminals are working in concert

2. The lockdowns were based on this hoax.

3. The goal was and still is to buy up all land from underneath you. It's a global plan, part of agenda 21 or the UN plan 2030

4. They want to cull global population from 7bn down to 500mn-1bn

5. It's a plan a hundred years in the making. It's not human. The people put in power are put in power and orchestrated by a hidden entity on our planet. No one knows who or what the entity is, but it's goal is to create technology, certain technology and enslave humanity

I know it sounds crazy. I too couldn't believe it. But it all fits together. The great reset. The lockdowns. BlackRock buying your property. The fake democracies we live in

Please listen:

Global warming, the pandemic.. they are both hoaxes and control mechanisms

Watch the ads on TV about climate change.. notice something? They're using kids now and their message and behaviour is very threatening - on purpose. "Do something about climate change", "when will you do something?"and the greats of this world are being used for this

The goal is to use carbon to measure and control everything.

You will get an allowance of carbon. It'll determine everything. If you're allowed to travel. If you're allowed to eat meat. If you're allowed to have children and how many. The answer will always be zero and the next generation is trained, reeduucated to be very very very intolerant to polluters.. all for the greater good they'll tell you. It's not.

They'r creating a society in which children will be raised, informed and educated by the party. These children will become adolescents and WILL bash your head in if you are deemed a polluter(just as they use racism right now against white people, they'll use carbon against everyone)

Please, I beg you as fellow human, go out and protest. I don't know for sure why they do it, but I have a serious genetics background and can tell you we're living through a lie. Multiple lies.

And more and more people are waking up.

That protest in London was about this. Almost 500,000 people marched. SHOUTING to arrest boris Johnson(who is in on it!) .. the BBC and all major media outlets buried this major event, perhaps the largest in London


We have a chance to free mankind of these ghouls, these bilderberg, Rockefeller, and other monsters who among other things financed Hitler.. but their money and agenda is still alive and it's anti human

Bill Gates is in on it
Jeff Bezos is in on it

All these people at the very top who push the lockdowns and who root for black rock are in on it.

They want to enslave you and me and have already done so in many, many ways by making us work for scraps while manipulating the game more and more

China is the blueprint, yes. But they didn't come up with it. They're the test bed for the system they want to impose on Europe and north America

It's your chance to change world history and your destiny if you're ready to wake up and watch the above link

WNU,
I'm not sure that domestic's problem are always first. Under F.D. Roosevelt America was still in recession and in a very bad shape for everything. The humiliation of Pearl Harbor was much more stronger.
An other humiliation could have the same effect.

According to historian Amity Schlaes WW2 forced FDR to make a choice. He could continue his war against the American people or he could fight the NAZIS, but he could not do both.

So FDR relented and took his knee off the necks of the American people and the economy recovered. There rest is history.

True. I agree.

Guys again
Please focus

We are living through the biggest power grab and conspiracy in the history of the world.

Everything else is a distraction while trillions are taken from us and we're more and more enslaved, our rights are taken and worse

Talk to your neighbours!
RIP your masks off!
Hang the people who conspired against humanity
Live free again... really free and prosperous... where one job feeds your family, the way it can be and used to be

Resist this evil!

And yes, the election was stolen

When trump said you'll never get your country back, he was referring to the globalist agenda 21/30 plan.

Don't you realise that capitalism barely works for the average man? Sure sure we can afford a car and maybe a mortgage, but we're more and more being enslaved and dumbed down, on purpose.

They let you work and live as long as you don't talk about their plan. They are opposed to nation states. Against the family. They want total control. They'r targeting churches, why? Because morality was instilled in the west, fundamentally through our judeo- Christian value system.. redemption, forgiveness, the ten commandments etc

Their goal is to replace religion with state religion

They want to have a system like the CCP has
A social credit score system to enslave us all and become modern royals among us

You'll laugh at their jokes, or else
You'll own nothing
You'll question nothing
You'll soon think nothing

They're enslaving us mentally, physically and spiritually

Those who push the lockdowns are your sworn enemy. I don't mean the dumb boot locking leftists who bought into their lies. I'm taking about bill gates who buys up property and farm land like the world ends tomorrow

He wants what they all want

Complete control over
Food production
Communication
Energy and transport

You'll soon not be allowed to go anywhere if you accept the lockdowns

The next generation is already in their teens. They'r being programmed to be intolerant and violent towards other view points on climate change.. they'll be trained to kick your head in and they'll cheer not knowing that they're being used as control tools

I don't know the way out, our Intel agencies at the top are not only in on it, they were carefully selected and groomed for this cult

Resist the lockdowns
Resist the masks
Resist the global warming narrative

It's not science. It's a cult. A control mechanism for the planners and they'll use it all against us, already are

Please wake up to this threat it's happening slowly at first but then will accelerate

Good luck
